Introduction
Under the guidance of Prof. Claudio Manfredotti,
the Solid State Physics group of the University of Torino,
Physics Department,started its activity in the early 1980s in the field of amorphous (a-Si:H) and crystalline (e.g. Si, CdTe)
semiconductor materials, mainly for the fabrication of solar cells and ionization radiation detectors.
In the course of these three decades, the group has gradually extended its field of interest to the study of micro/nano-structured materials and devices and to the development of new experimental techniques for the characterization and modification of advanced materials and/or art objects.
Now, the group is working on the following main research topics:
- Semiconductor materials and basic devices: functional characterization by means of MeV Ion Beam techniques
- The physics of diamond: characterization, and selective modification at the nano/micro scale; applications in bio-sensing and quantum optics
- Production and characterisation of high and medium critical temperature superconducting materials
- Nanostructured materials
- Physics applied to cultural heritage

Our research group actively collaborates to the organization of the "Quantum2025" conference ("From Foundations of Quantum Mechanics to Quantum Information and Quantum Metrology & Sensing"), held at the "Unione Industriali" of Torino. The conference includes a broad spectrum of contributions on diamond-based quantum technologies from internationally recognized speakers. For information, contact quantum2025@unito.it. |

Our research group actively collaborates in the organization of the Tematic Workshop 'Nanomaterials and Quantum Technologies at the Interface with Biological Studies,' scheduled within the framework of FISMAT 2025. The aim of this workshop is to gather the Italian community involved in exploiting and developing nanomaterials and quantum technologies to address key questions in biological and biomedical fields. The focus is not only on material characterization, engineering, and technological advancements but also on the biological issues addressed by these technologies.
